Creating stack starting from an already configured switch
Hi,
I am a newby with stacking.
I need to add 2 new switches to the GS752TX already configured with vlans as a standalone switch.
I want to create a stacked configuration using the pre-esistent switch as master and adding two out-of-box GS728TXP to the stack to manage all as a single unit.
Is there any issue creating a stack when there is a working configuration in place with vlans on the first switch? How to connect the two new switch to the GS752TX where all ports are assignet to vlans?
Thank you
Nick
You may need to reboot all the switches in order for them to re-elect the master switch and also to add the new switches to the stack. But you can manually assign the Master switch of the stack in order to retain its master. The configurations from it will still be the same and will not change after adding the 2 switches.
